When I was a child, I read a text about the beauty of the flying goddess in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, which made everyone who saw it intoxicated. From then on, I had a strong yearning for this mysterious place. When I grew up, I read an article about Dunhuang in Mr. Yu's "Cultural Journey", saying that Wang Yuan, a hateful old Taoist priest, shamelessly transported batches of national treasures to foreigners. Our descendants can't help asking: "Where should we go to find Dunhuang, the holy cave, and the lost civilization?" Wang is an unforgivable sinner! He doesn't know how many artistic talents and magnificent stories the great Dunhuang has condensed! The Lanzhou classical dance drama Dream of Dunhuang, which premiered in 2000, showed us a wave in the historical ocean, and its art and thought slightly filled my resentment against Wang.
In the dim light, Wang opened one of the suicide notes scattered in the vast sea of smoke, and the dream story began like this. ...
Scene 1: A long time ago, in the desert leading to Dunhuang, young Mogao made a long journey to pursue the highest realm of art, but the golden desert burning under the scorching sun made him thirsty. When his life was dying, his desire for art rose in a mirage. The choreographer skillfully uses the change of color to express the cruelty of this realistic environment and the beauty of fantasy art, and uses the group dance of women wearing black gauze to render the former and the group dance of women wearing vibrant turquoise clothes to contrast the latter, thus forming a sharp contrast. The legion triumphantly found Mogao, and the handsome and mighty young general was moved by his extraordinary bearing, leaving a crescent pot and taking away the paintings he regarded as life.
Act II: A few days later, at the foot of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang, a new cave was excavated. On the street, women wearing big flagons and veils, innocent and lively children and all kinds of people gathered into a lively and jubilant scene. Mogao met Crescent Moon, a young general, who restored his daughter's costume. The memory of the recent desert adventure is fresh, and a thousand words come to mind; But the new moon's father, the general, ruthlessly stopped him. In the cave, Mogao imagined the new wall. This is the solo dance of the leading actor Mogao. Facing the cave wall, he thought of the beautiful and healthy girl general crescent moon in his heart, and he danced with both rigidity and softness to show his dancing picture.
Crescent Moon found Mogao in the cave and returned the painting. At this point, they found each other's obsession with art, and it is enough to have a bosom friend in this world! So the seeds of love quietly spread in their hearts. This duet is touching and gentle, and the music is a beautiful visual and auditory enjoyment.
But the good times never seem to last. The girl's father, the general, found her daughter's "barbarism" and thought it was very shameful. He was ashamed of Mogao's material poverty and finally left Mogao with the crescent moon. But how can such a rough general in feudal times understand the powerful spiritual wealth of Mogao Grottoes?
Act III: Soon after, in the general's camp, the general forced his daughter and threatened her to give up Mogao. The crescent moon is sitting alone, and there is no response at all. His father could do nothing about him, so he chose his husband by dancing. The new moon is disobedient, and the nurse can't bear to comfort the young lady who is getting thinner every day. At this moment, the new moon is experiencing great psychological pressure, and her solo dance fully expresses her inner contradictions and complexity. This dance inherits the essence of China's drama and martial arts, and incorporates the characteristics of western ballet. Perfect rotation, drawing a circle, being soft in the middle and firm in the middle, deeply penetrating the audience's heart.
Open the military account and hold a general banquet for women. Princes and nobles flocked from all over the world. This dance element is rich and colorful, such as bouncing pipa dance, flying dance, Persian dance, scorpion encouragement and so on. , with national characteristics. It's really too much for the audience to appreciate so many things at once. Look at our heroine, the new moon. She is still sad and unmoved, and treats these vulgar princes and nobles coldly. Finally, taking advantage of the high black wind, the crescent moon fled to the direction where her lover Mogao was.
Ma Tie, the general of Jin Ge, angrily led a large group of soldiers to chase the Mogao Grottoes.
Act IV: In the dark cave, Mo paints attentively; In the sweetness of love, a beautiful mural is about to be completed. The crescent moon rushed through all kinds of hardships and threw herself into the arms of love. But it didn't take long for my father's army to catch up.
In the besieged cave, facing the threat of blood and fire, Crescent Moon took her father's knife in front of the Mogao Grottoes for love and paid the price of her life. The general is shocked! Regret! Crazy!
The new moon closed its eyes forever. Mogao was heartbroken. Hold her and call her. In a pool of bright red blood, they danced a sad and beautiful love with their lives. The crescent moon paid the price of life for the equality of human nature and the love with unequal social status. Mogao completed the swan song of art in great sadness. No one can break them up anymore, and art is their crystallization. Years have eroded the cold body, but they can't erase the glory of the Mogao Grottoes and the pure beauty of the Crescent Moon Spring! The Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Moon Springs, art and love will accompany each other day and night forever. ...
The ending is endless for a long time. This brilliant ode is a silent lament for a better life and a tribute to brilliant humanity.
The story of Dunhuang Dream is over, but our thinking continues. Dunhuang is the treasure and wonderful work of the country in exchange for the great talents and sacred lives of countless people! After thousands of years, what we see is only a scratch. How can we be worthy of our dead ancestors? After deeply criticizing the king, I thought of more things. It's not his fault alone. This was the fault of the whole society at that time. In a backward society and economically backward country, his national body and mind will be mercilessly poisoned by the invaders.
There is nothing we can do about the lost culture and living in modern times. But the truth that you will be beaten if you fall behind can never be forgotten! 2 1 century is an era of knowledge and talents. Living in this era, we are lucky and unfortunate. Fortunately, we avoided the disaster of war and foolish ignorance. Unfortunately, we can't see the once glorious and beautiful historical civilization. However, we should still act. The rest of the sacred objects need our protection as descendants of the Chinese people, not only Dunhuang, but also Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Dragon Boat Festival and Chinese medicine ... These are our roots, and we can't lose them! Do you really want to eat zongzi in Korea and study Chinese medicine in Japan in the future?
How to find you-"Dunhuang in the Holy Cave"? Let's work hard to build the hearts of the motherland and the people. Let's build a solid Great Wall and defend the ancient civilization!
